Titus 2:12-13 Live soberly, look forward

Good morning everyone! God is good all the time, all the time God is good.
TOO BLESSED TO BE STRESSED.

Titus 2:12-13 KJV "Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously and godly in this present world. Looking for that blessed hope and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ."

Paul brings out two aspects of Christian living that must be stressed today. First, we should live in this evil world, and second we look forward with hope.

Both aspects of living and looking forward are essential to our Christian sanity in this present evil age. Living is made bearable because we live for God - seeking to build his Kingdom with whatever gifts he has given us. Plus, it is this Kingdom we are looking forward to.

We should live soberly, righteously, and in a godly manner. The blessed hope and glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ; Christ's personal presence, redemption from our sinful nature, and restoration of creation. This is the expectations we should have as we move forth in todays world. Love you all.

In Christ's Love and Grace
